Abstract This study analyses reply articles published in academic journals in the field of applied linguistics as an instance of academic conflict with regard to the realization of impoliteness. The study further explores the judgment resources of Appraisal Theory leading to impoliteness in this genre. Taking the theoretical model of impoliteness (Bousfield 2008a), both on-record and off-record impolite behaviors were coded in a corpus of 58 reply articles published in academic journals. Then, drawing on Appraisal Theory and the subcategories of judgment resources (Martin and Rose 2003), which include capacity, veracity, propriety, normality and tenacity, the coded impolite behaviors were analyzed. The results of the analysis pointed to a high frequency of on-record impoliteness to which comments on the commentators’ capacity contributed most. The findings of the current study expand the currently available literature on (im)politeness and Appraisal Theory and moreover, make academic courses instructors, novice and professional members of the applied linguistics discourse community cognizant of the potential (im)polite implications of their contributions to the discourse community in order to have pragmatically appropriate choices (Ishiara 2006).

回复文章：不礼貌和判断力相吻合的地方

摘要本研究分析了在应用语言学领域的学术期刊上发表的答复文章，这是在实现不礼貌方面发生学术冲突的一个实例。本研究进一步探讨了导致该类型不礼貌的鉴定理论的判断资源。根据不礼貌的理论模型（Bousfield 2008a），在学术期刊上发表的58篇答复文章的语料库中对有记录和无记录的不礼貌行为进行了编码。然后，利用评估理论和判断资源的子类别（Martin and Rose 2003），包括能力，真实性，适当性，正常性和坚韧性，分析了编码的不礼貌行为。分析结果表明，记录不礼貌的频率很高，评论者能力的评论对此贡献最大。
